Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1/2 medium yellow onion, 1/4 grated and 1/4 finely minced
- 2 large garlic cloves, grated
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp fennel seed
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/3 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/4-inch slices
- 4 medium hamburger buns, toasted
- 1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Quick Marinara
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove, grated
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp kosher
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add ground turkey through egg to a medium bowl. Using hands to gently mix the mixture just until combined. Form into four equal patties.
- Heat a small sauce pan to a medium-low heat. Add 2 tsp olive oil. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds. Add tomato paste. Cook 1 minute. Whisk in water, sugar and salt. Bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5-6 minutes while the burgers continue to cook.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle to a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 teaspoons olive oil. Spread evenly on pan or griddle. Sear burgers until golden brown and crusty on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Once burgers have seared, spoon a little bit of sauce on each patty. Cover with a slice or two of mozzarella. Transfer to the oven and bake until cheese is melted. Slide patties on to bun, sprinkle with parsley. Serve warm
